I just conducted an inventory of sorts. I currently have 5 new-old-stock 51mm push-on plastic Pentax lens caps that are for 49mm front-diameter lenses. Part # PK29 if I can believe the label attached by the eBay seller. One Asahi Pentax metal push-on of the same size (used, complete with shimming tape in the inside.) If the originator of this thread still needs such a lens cap, please contact me off-list to arrange for me to send one or two your way.
